How cool. You're going to love them.
I lived on Carnation dairy farm in Washington for about a year and they were Holstein. That is the breed that produces the most milk...huge quantities. It's what makes up the vast majority, if not all the milk we buy in stores. It's lower in butter fat, I think that other breeds, not as tasty, but they make more.
It was an experience living there. There were calves born, several barns, a place where they did artificial insemination, huge pastures, one right next to where we lived. In all, the farm was 1,300 acres.
The young heffers were shy, but curious and when I'd take a walk, they'd all congragate and run alongside the fence with us. A few were tame enough to let people pat them a little, but mostly they kept back just a few feet. It just depends how much handling they get. I got "scolded" for making friends with a young bull. They told me that he won't want to breed if he gets too much lovin from humans. LOL. He was super cute and friendly. But he was a youngster.
For your viewing pleasure. See how curious and gentle the young heffers are? That's my daughter standing in the middle of them. The next picture shows Jose` when he was just a tiny baby. And below the Cascade mountains in the distance. Also, if Foxy sees this thread, she can see what part of Washington state looks like. She was looking at different areas where she might like to move.
My dogs:
They can only mainly kick forward with any force... so it's not as horrible as being kicked by a horse. But nevertheless, of course you don't want to be kicked at all.
